Scavenger Hunt Items

This sort of activity works well either at a group night in your local park or as something on a walk or camp. You might want to pick a theme and look for items or find the most unusual object for each item on the list.

You might want the children to each have a small bag and collect items on their list, you can then use these for craft activities later. Alternatively give each child a list and ask them to write down what they find. On wait works quite well if a couple of leaders have a list and the children go to them to find out what they are looking for next.
